Connecting a Bluetooth headset or car kit

You can listen to music over a Bluetooth stereo headset, or have hands-free conversations using a compatible Bluetooth headset or car kit.
It’s the same procedure to set up stereo audio and hands-free.

Important:

For you to listen to music with your headset or car kit, the headset or car kit must support the A2DP Bluetooth profile.

Before you connect your headset, you need to make it discoverable so HTC Rhyme can find it. You can find out how to do this by referring to your headset manual.

From the Home screen, press MENU , and then tap
Settings > Wireless & networks.

Tap
Bluetooth settings.

If the
Bluetooth check box is not selected, select it to turn
Bluetooth on.

Make sure that the headset is discoverable.

Tap Scan for devices. HTC Rhyme will start to scan for Bluetooth devices within range.

When you see the name of your headset displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap the name. HTC Rhyme then automatically tries to pair with the headset.

The pairing and connection status is displayed below the hands-free headset or car kit name in the Bluetooth devices section. When the Bluetooth headset or car kit is connected to HTC Rhyme, the Bluetooth connected icon is displayed in the status bar. Depending on the type of headset or car kit you have connected, you can then start using the headset or car kit.

Reconnecting a headset or car kit

Normally, you can easily reconnect your headset by switching on Bluetooth on HTC Rhyme, and then turning on the headset. However, you might have to connect manually if your headset has been used with another Bluetooth device.

From the Home screen, press MENU , and then tap
Settings > Wireless & networks.

Tap
Bluetooth settings.

If the
Bluetooth check box is not selected, select it to turn
Bluetooth on.

Make sure that the headset is discoverable.

Tap the headset’s name in the Bluetooth devices section.

If prompted to enter a passcode, try 0000 or 1234, or consult the headset/car kit documentation to find the passcode.
